HAMILTON LAUNCHES NEW KHAKI PILOT PIONEER MODELS CELEBRATING AVIATION HERITAGE WITH DISTINCTIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP
September 8, 2025
Hamilton proudly expands its iconic Khaki Pilot Pioneer collection with three new references: the Mechanical 43mm and the Automatic 38mm. These timepieces pay tribute to Hamilton’s storied history in aviation and military timing instruments, drawing inspiration from the legendary World War II Model 23 pocket watch used by U.S. Army Air Force navigators.
The 43mm model features a warm bronze case paired with an eggshell-white grained dial and a vegetable-tanned leather strap that develops a rich patina over time, echoing the passage of time and heritage. Meanwhile, the 38mm automatic models shine in sophisticated burgundy or moss green, complemented by a colored turning bezel and leather straps crafted using the traditional coupé franc technique—showcasing refined vintage aesthetics and durability. Both models embody Hamilton’s commitment to timeless design, expert craftsmanship, and deep-rooted aviation legacy.
